"Boy, don't bla
for not warning you. These guys aren't particularly skilled. Even though their individual strength is lacking, they have the Bounty Hunters' organization backing them. If you kill them all, the people in those organizations won't let you off lightly. You will undoubtedly bring trouble upon yourself. So, you better think twice."
Hearing these words, everyone nodded and began to clamor.
"Yes, yes, yes! Hu Xianfeng is right! We all have organizations supporting us, so you absolutely cannot act against us. Otherwise, you will effectively be declaring war on the entire Bounty Hunters' organization!"
"Even if you despise us, you should still think about yourself. Once you beco an enemy of Bounty Hunters, there will be no benefit for you. They will hunt you down relentlessly until you've been dealt with. Only then will they leave."
"Besides, even the people around you won't get a day of peace. The Bounty Hunters will also target them. So, I advise you to think carefully."
It seed that everyone finally glimpsed a sliver of hope.
However, Wang Zhan rely revealed a cold smile, shaking his head. "So, are you threatening ?"
The crowd's expressions changed. Although they knew the Bounty Hunters' organization was behind them, they didn't dare to provoke Wang Zhan lightly. After all, if they truly angered Wang Zhan, escaping from here would not be an easy feat.
In the blink of an eye, one person quickly stepped forward and said, "Sir, you've misunderstood us. We certainly didn't an to threaten you. We just want to hold on to our lives. Although we did harbor so ill intentions before, in the end, we haven't actually done anything harmful, have we? And you've already killed our companions. Surely that's enough to alleviate your resentnt?"
Everyone nodded in agreent.
anwhile, Wang Zhan squinted his eyes and laughed disdainfully. "So, that's your justification for
letting you go?"
This ti, everyone fell silent.
"What do you an?" Wang Zhan looked at Hu Xianfeng beside him, his eyes filled with confusion.
Hu Xianfeng just shrugged nonchalantly, shaking his head. "How you young folks want to deal with it is none of my business. And even if you want to hurt them, it doesn't affect . I'm just reminding you that Bounty Hunters are tough. If you've made up your mind, you can act anyti. However, even if you end up at war with the Bounty Hunters, it still has nothing to do with ."
After saying this, Hu Xianfeng turned and walked to one side.
Wang Zhan squinted his eyes slightly. He understood Hu Xianfeng's intention.
Given that Hu Xianfeng wasn't pressing the issue, Wang Zhan naturally had no intention of letting these people go. Besides, among everyone here, Hu Xianfeng was the one he was most wary of. But now, it appeared Hu Xianfeng had been siding with him all along. Moreover, if the Bounty Hunters did show up, Wang Zhan could sense that Hu Xianfeng wouldn't just stand by idly; he would likely even help him fight them off. After all, from Hu Xianfeng's words and deanor, it wasn't hard to discern his lack of goodwill towards Bounty Hunters. Considering this, the situation indeed seed much easier.
Wang Zhan's expression darkened. He lifted the Deep Fire Blade in his hand and shouted at the crowd, "Then you can all just go to hell!"
In the next second, before anyone could react, they saw a huge Fire Dragon descending upon them. By the ti they wanted to escape, it was already too late. In an instant, all of them had beco lifeless corpses.
Wang Zhan stood to the side quietly. After staring at them for a while, he shook his head and murmured, "Unrighteous sentintality leads to self-destruction. Don't you even understand such a simple truth?"
After saying this, he turned towards Hu Xianfeng, retracted his Deep Fire Blade, and began to cough heavily.
Hu Xianfeng glanced at him, then shook his head and said, "I knew you were just putting on a brave front. That Lion-Tiger Beast was no easy foe; I never imagined you'd actually manage to devour it! But I must say, your strength is truly astounding. However, what I admire most about you is your perseverance."
Actually, Wang Zhan was already at the end of his tether. However, he showed no intention of backing down, nor did he seek Hu Xianfeng's help. Hu Xianfeng recognized this and, by speaking up, was rely offering Wang Zhan a graceful way out. After all, letting those n go wouldn't have been detrintal for Wang Zhan. Yet, Wang Zhan chose not to do so, which made Hu Xianfeng appreciate him even more.
Hu Xianfeng walked over to Wang Zhan, grabbed his arm, and started pulling him towards his house. "You remind
of myself when I was younger. Such perseverance is indeed unmatched by the current younger generation. But I must say, you also have a ruthless streak. How could you kill so many people just like that?"
Wang Zhan shrugged indifferently and said with a smile, "Let
be clear, I didn't intend to make things difficult for them. But they were aggressive and kept lurking around , even planning to strike when I wasn't prepared. How could I possibly let them go so easily? This wasn't about picking on weaklings; it was about establishing my authority."
"That's your business; it has nothing to do with ," Hu Xianfeng said with a smile. Then, he looked at Wang Zhan and asked, "I already warned you, all these people are Bounty Hunters with their specific organizations behind them. So, have you thought about what to do next?"
"These guys really weren't kidding. Those Bounty Hunter organizations are indeed extrely troubleso. Even if I were to encounter those fellows, while I wouldn't fear them, they would still cause
so trouble."
"After all, they are notoriously difficult to get rid of. So if they keep pestering you, things will naturally beco much more complicated."
"If I were you, I would definitely need to prepare in advance. Otherwise, your life will be adversely affected to so extent. Of course, I can also offer you a better solution: stay by my side, safe and sound. As long as you remain with , those fellows will naturally have to consider
if they want to target you."
Throughout all of Kui City, you couldn't find anyone more formidable than Hu Xianfeng. Not only did Wang Zhan know this, but Hu Xianfeng himself understood it very well. Therefore, as long as Wang Zhan stayed by his side, he wouldn't have to worry about anything. Even those Bounty Hunters wouldn't dare to bother Wang Zhan.
Wang Zhan sighed and said with a smile, "So, you're suggesting that I should stay by your side forever? But what can I do here? It would be nothing more than doing odd jobs."
"And even though you're extrely powerful, you're always here in this forest, not really doing anything. All the demonic beasts in the vicinity flee at the re sight of you. Isn't life terribly dull?"
Hearing this, Hu Xianfeng's eyes widened. "You can't say that! Do you know how many people dream of a life like mine? After all, the Star War Battlefield is fraught with danger everywhere. To be able to survive for a long ti in a quiet place is a skill in itself. Besides, the fact that I can live undisturbed in such a perilous place, doesn't that prove how exceedingly capable I am?"
"So, if you are really planning to do sothing, I advise you to consider it carefully. After all, those Bounty Hunters won't let you off easily. It would be better for you to stay quietly by my side; this would be a great opportunity for you."
Wang Zhan completely ignored Hu Xianfeng. Clearly, Hu Xianfeng was trying to persuade him. But Wang Zhan had his own plans; he still needed to find two people and rendezvous with them, so how could he possibly continue to waste ti here?
However, he still needed to rely on Hu Xianfeng for now. After all, he currently needed an absolutely safe place to recuperate. He had indeed suffered a certain degree of injury in the previous battle with the Lion-Tiger Beast. It seed unlikely he could recover to his peak condition in a short period. What was most vexing was that the System hadn't undergone any significant refinent, so his cultivation hadn't improved either. This battle had been quite a setback.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were back in the thatched cottage.
Wang Zhan sat on the ground, looked at Hu Xianfeng not far away, and quickly asked, "I was wondering if you have any miraculous healing dicine here?"
"You brat! Not only have you occupied my place without asking, but now you're trying to squeeze sothing out of
too?" Hu Xianfeng glared at him and turned his face away.
Wang Zhan got up smiling and said, "You can't put it that way. I don't plan on mooching off you indefinitely. I just want to improve my cultivation as quickly as possible so I can go deal with those Bounty Hunters myself. That way, they won't co looking for trouble with you, right?"
Hu Xianfeng shot him a glare. They were both thousand-year-old foxes; what was the point of this act?
In an instant, Hu Xianfeng walked to the side, took out a porcelain vial from sowhere, and tossed it in front of Wang Zhan.
Wang Zhan quickly opened the vial and was imdiately greeted by a rich fragrance. He pursed his lips slightly, smiled, and asked, "What is this?"
"Relax, it's for healing. It definitely won't harm you."
